The OID is saved when we encounter CTLFLAG_SKIP so that descendants can
be skipped as well. We then must not update the skip OID until we are
out of the node. This was achieved by resetting the skip OID once the
prefix no longer matches, but the case where the OID we reset on has
CTLFLAG_SKIP was not accounted for.

Fix broken CTLFLAG_SKIP when present on the first child of the requested
node.
We don't need to ignore skip for the first node because in sysctl_all()
we've implicitly visited the first node already when oid is specified.
The first call to show_var() in here is after we have iterated to the
next node. When the command line specifically requests a non-node sysctl
we go straight into show_var() without calling sysctl_all().

Add an "nextnoskip" sysctl that allows for listing of sysctls intended to be
normally skipped for cost reasons.
This makes it so the names/descriptions of those sysctls can be discovered with
sysctl -aN/sysctl -ad/sysctl -at.
It also makes it so children are visited when a node flagged with CTLFLAG_SKIP
is explicitly requested.
The intended use case is to mark the root "kstat" node with CTLFLAG_SKIP so that
the extensive and expensive stats are skipped by default but may still be easily
obtained without having to know them all (which may not even be possible) and
request each one-by-one.

- Change the type of hw.pagesizes to OPAQUE, since it returns an array.
- Modify the handler to only truncate the returned length if the caller
supplied an output buffer. This allows use of the trick of passing a
NULL output buffer to fetch the output size, while preserving
compatibility if MAXPAGESIZES is increased.
- Add a "S,pagesize" formatter to sysctl(8).

A big security advantage of Wayland is not allowing applications to read
input devices all the time. Having /dev/input/* accessible to the user
account subverts this advantage.
libudev-devd was opening the evdev devices to detect their types (mouse,
keyboard, touchpad, etc). This don't work if /dev/input/* is inaccessible.
With the kernel exposing this information as sysctls (kern.evdev.input.*),
we can work w/o /dev/input/* access, preserving the Wayland security model.

Most sysctl nodes only return a single value, but some nodes return an
array of values (e.g. kern.cp_time). sysctl(8) understand how to display
the values of a node that returns multiple values (it prints out each
numeric value separated by spaces). However, until now sysctl(8) has
only been able to set sysctl nodes to a single value. This change
allows sysctl to accept a new value for a numeric sysctl node that contains
multiple values separated by either spaces or commas. sysctl(8) parses
this list into an array of values and passes the array as the "new" value
to sysctl(2).

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
The intent is to skip expensive opaque sysctls like tcp_pcblist unless
they are explicitly requested. Sysctl nodes like this don't show up in
sysctl -a, but they do generate output that winds up being dropped,
unless the user specifically requested binary/hex output or opaques.
This reduces the runtime of sysctl in many circumstances on a loaded
system. It also reduces the likelihood that simply gathering
diagnostics on a sick machine (stuck lock, etc) via sysctl -a might
push it over the edge into a total lockup.
